The Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank reported revenues of $272,652.70 for the business week ending on Friday, Jan. 9, 2015. The land bank receives its funds from a two per cent fee charged on many Vineyard real estate transactions.

Much of the land bank revenue last week came from the town of Edgartown, where six transactions resulted in $178,937.90. Three transactions in Chilmark generated $37,590. Two transactions yielded $18,515 in Tisbury. Two transactions in Oak Bluffs netted $14,450. One transaction in Aquinnah generated $12,180. And two transactions earned $10,979.80 in West Tisbury.

The land bank uses its revenues to purchase and manage land for purposes of conservation, preservation and passive recreation. To date the agency has participated in the purchase of more than 3,243 acres of Vineyard land.
